Número de artículo:1823580727751 imperial heavy duty typewriter for sale, this has some marks to show its history and individual story but is an original typewriter manufactured in Leicester. all the aspects work, some keys stick a little, it will no doubt need a new ribbon before proper use. these typewriters where from the time where everything was made to last, this will probably never break down but maybe that will depend on the amount of use it has now in modern day. it would also make a great display piece to add to a vintage collection. The Imperial Typewriter Company was a British manufacturer of typewriters based in Leicester, England. The company was founded by Hidalgo Moya, an American-Spanish engineer who lived in England. After first building the Moya typewriter, he set up the Imperial Typewriter Company in Leicester. It stopped manufacturing typewriters when personal computers became popular causing typewriter sales to fall. The company was acquired by Litton Industries in 1966, and gradually introduced Royal Typewriter Company models largely assembled from parts shipped from Hartford, Connecticut, United States and the manufacture of typewriters ceased at Leicester in 1974Condition: Vintage antique
